Is CTET mandatory to teach in government schools?
Yes, for classes 1-8 in CBSE-affiliated schools and central government schools (KVS, NVS, EMRS). State TET is the equivalent for state government schools.
What is the validity of CTET?
The CTET certificate is valid for a lifetime from the date of issue.
Can I become a college professor without PhD in 2026?

Is B.Ed. mandatory to write CTET?
B.Ed. (or D.El.Ed. for Paper 1) is required for the final teaching appointment. Final-year B.Ed. students can write CTET to clear the eligibility.
